We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The home was very clean and well equipped for our long stay. It was a treat to have the entire home to ourselves which invited us to really relax, with full size dressers in both bedrooms and very comfortable beds. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood which is extremely walkable. Our host James answered all our questions very quickly. We will not hesitate to stay here again and will refer family and friends if they need a place to stay in Tacoma.

The listing was accurate and the house was a comfortable and easy get to. Communication from the host was timely and accurate. I took off one star for the overall cleanliness. The bathroom had many random hairs in the shower, on the walls and in the sink and there were large food crumbs on the back deck. I would stay here again.

Tacoma Home

We (husband, kids) came to visit my sister, her hubs and new baby who lives about 1 mile away from this place. It was simple, clean, safe, exactly what we needed. Thanks for the easy way to enter and leave the home. The slippers were a great touch!

convenient home

The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry are quite nice and seemed very clean and well-stocked. The location was a couple of blocks different than we expected, but not a huge problem. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant. We somehow did not understand from the listing that both bedrooms were upstairs and far from the bathroom. James was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m glad to hear that you found the home comfortable and well-stocked, and that you appreciated the cleanliness and amenities. I apologize for any confusion about the layout of the bedrooms and bathroom – I’ll make sure to clarify that in the listing to avoid any future surprises. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and found the location convenient, and I’m always happy to be responsive and help make your stay as smooth as possible. Thanks again for choosing our home, and I hope to welcome you back in the future! Best regards, James

Wonderful family holiday

We had a really good time in the house. Beautiful interior design, enough space for four adults in a good neighbourhood and own yard with grill. We loved the terrace in the mornings and evenings. Appreciated the provided household products like dishwasher tabs, toilet and kitchen papers and laundry detergent very much. As a further improvement we might suggest to attach some coat hooks in the entrance and bathroom and provide a laundry rack. As we travelled with three women, an additional mirror could have helped us in the mornings ;) Overall a perfect holiday home. Thank you !
